...I was frustrated by pettiness

Okay, I'm trying my best to stay focused on studying right now, but people and their situations keep coming at me swarming in a cloud of drama and I'm just so DONE trying to help people (who don't want to be helped in the first place). People let their pride, bitterness, and hurt feelings obstruct them from moving forward. It's so frustrating to witness. I can't really speak directly about these situations on here, but I just want to say as a general statement... It's not about who is right or wrong. It's about acknowledging other people's feelings, and resolving issues with people even if they aren't your friends for merely the sake of humanity, or even others around you. Prolonged conflict and hostility between two people never produces anything valuable. However on the contrary, coming together, finding common ground and acknowledging hurt feelings can do SO much. You can reestablish/form a new connection with someone who could ultimately contribute to making your life more fulfilling. Maybe they can introduce you to something new; maybe you can share good conversation; maybe they can make you laugh; maybe you can have one of the most fun nights of your life with them. Who knows what could come from a connection with another human being? What's the good in staying upset? To prove a point? What point exactly are you trying to prove? Take time to get to know other people, where they come from, where their pain stems from. It helps you love so much easier.
